Goals are central to current treatments of work motivation, and goal commitment is a critical construct in understanding the relationship between goals and task performance. Despite this importance, there is confusion about the role of goal commitment and only recently has this key construct received the empirical attention it warrants. This meta-analysis, based on 83 independent samples, updates the goal commitment literature by summarizing the accumulated evidence on the antecedents and consequences of goal commitment. Using this aggregate empirical evidence, the role of goal commitment in the goal-setting process is clarified and key areas for future research are identified.
目标是当前工作动机治疗的核心，而目标承诺是理解目标与任务绩效之间关系的关键结构。尽管具有这种重要性，但对于目标承诺的作用仍存在困惑，直到最近这个关键结构才得到它应有的实证关注。这项基于83个独立样本的元分析，通过总结关于目标承诺的前因和后果的累积证据，更新了目标承诺的文献。利用这些综合实证证据，阐明了目标承诺在目标设定过程中的作用，并确定了未来研究的关键领域。
